I fear you cannot use /dev/null (or any other non-tty file) as stdin. :-(
UML uses poll() to detect whether input is available from stdin.
As you can always read from /dev/null poll() doesn't block and
UML gets flooded with interrupts.

Do you really need stdin set to /dev/null?
Can't you use a tool like screen to detach UML from your terminal?
